After the new tires are on, I'll be giving her a mild drop and some new shocks. It's torsion cranking and blocks, and I think a 3" will be plenty since the truck will be driven primarily by my girlfriend, and of course, by me anywhere I don't want to take my TrailBlazer.

You might look for some used control arms or something, while free and easy to lower by turning the torsion bars it will ride like poop and be impossible to align it. Do control arms and turn bars a little with 3" blocks and remove a extra leaf for moar drop!

I'll just re-index the torsions, so they won't be turned any differently than stock. And just going down 2" in front and 3" in back, it will still be useful for everything I need to use it for. Which is towing my pop-up, hauling my canoe/kayaks, and getting my girlfriend from point A to point B without too much trouble.

I did a ghetto 5" front 7" rear drop on my $425 B2200. Other than the bottoming out it wasn't a bad ride at all. Cranked the torsion bars all the way down pretty much and removed 2 leafs and put in 3" blocks. Camber wear up front was hardly noticeable too. So I think doing a 2" drop up front will be no issue at all. Even without indexing them.

Did the Webber conversion yesterday.... Holy shit. It's like a BRAND NEW truck... Totally different to drive, better power, way better MPG's, and ZERO drama... it starts perfect, idles perfect, and drives out like a dream.

Also eliminated a butt-load of emissions junk, so the motor actually looks nice too. I'll post some motor pics after I get er cleaned up a bit more.

VERY happy so far, it's quiet as can be, and it doesn't whistle either. Likely the whistling was caused by the universal adapter plate not being trimmed down to match the intake manifold completely on my buddies truck.
